Gioacchino Meluzzi (Imola, 1884 – Imola, 1953)
Painter, sculptor, carver, cabinetmaker. For many years he had his workshop at the Santa Caterina Institute, where he composed most of his works. He was a skilled furniture maker, sought after by the upper middle class and nobility who demanded artistic furniture. He was one of the greatest representatives of classical cabinetmaking in Emilia-Romagna with frequent and well-calibrated references to the 15th-16th century tradition of sculpture, especially from the Tuscan Renaissance.
Refined bas-relief sculpture in mahogany and walnut depicting the Madonna tenderly embracing the sleeping Child.
In the lower left we find the date on which Master Meluzzi executed the work: "February 8, 1930" and his signature, "G. Meluzzi " in the lower right.
The Madonna and Child was positioned on the large carved sideboard.
It is part of the important neo-Renaissance dining room by the same author which can be offered as a whole as it was commissioned to the Master in 1930 (date and signature of the author are visible at the base of the bas-relief depicting the Madonna and Child).
